HARVIESTOUN BREWERY
Scotland’s most innovative micro-brewery, Harviestoun is a small, independent concern staffed and run by individuals who are entirely passionate about brewing.
Bitter & Twisted is a sharp, blond beer with a fresh hop profile combining aromatic Hallertau Hersbrücker with spicy Challenger. It is finished by late hopping with Styrian Goldings, which gives a citrus sharpness – like the twist of a lemon. Bitter & Twisted is a truly refreshing and drinkable beer. Bitter & Twisted wins awards at home and abroad – most recently voted World’s Best Ale at the World Beer Awards 2007.
A crisp cask conditioned lager, Schiehallion has a beautifully fresh taste of grapefruit. Delicately crafted using Hersbrücker lager hops, it is fermented at a very low temperature with lager yeast. Schiehallion is one of Scotland's best known mountains. Shrouded in cool, refreshing, misty swirls of early morning air, it is the inspiration for this magnificent beer.
Old Engine Oil is strong and dark but wickedly smooth. Chocolate dominates the palate but is nicely balanced by a hoppy bitterness. Old Engine Oil is a delicious post-prandial beer with a bittersweet aftertaste.
Harviestoun’s founder Ken Brooker spent much of his early life crafting wooden design prototypes for Ford. The viscous nature of this beer reminded Ken of car engine oil, so he named it in honour of his second love, the internal combustion engine.
